Joomla! & VirtueMart - show product category instead of shop front?

Joomla! & VirtueMart - show product category instead of shop front?

I have a Joomla! 1.5.15 and VirtueMart 1.1.4 installation from a client
project and I need to change something I'm not sure how to.
I have one of my menu links pointing to the shop (menu item type:
VirtueMart) but it directs me to a front page (to be precise, it renders
the content in themes/default/templates/common/categoryChildlist.tpl.php).
What I want is for this link to make one of my product categories show.
I've tried several methods (without any luck so far):
Using header() doesn't work (I know, it's a pretty shameful trick, but I
had to try it).
Changing the menu item type doesn't work (you can't modify the link itself).
Modifying any of the browser_ files doesn't work either (at least, doesn't
look like it).
I'm a bit out of ideas... any hint?
